I guess she did die. I didn't grasp that the bandaid was from a booster and not an IV. Not surprising as my last experience in the hospital was before the vaccine came out. 🤷‍♂️ This story has been awesome, Dr. Schantz. I'm glad I held off reading the book to enjoy it a chapter at a time. 👍

Glad you're enjoying it. I was specifically thinking of this image, and only now do I realize it was the shirt, not the band aid that was green. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/10/06/15/63181649-11287305-image-a-27_1665067177053.jpg

"The hatred in her eyes was not for the enemies of social justice; it was for the enemies of Castillo." Gets to the heart of it.

The long obit from "gray-haired reporter" echoes commentary by blogger Stacy McCain...

I was thinking of Stacy McCain as a kind of modern-day H.L. Mencken as well. That obit, though, was an edited version of Mencken's obit for William Jennings Bryan.

The Zoomcaster nailed it " It was like God just cut her down."

I loved the Vox Popoli call out by the Dangerous Tranny.

The further assessment that Senator Castillo was full of hate for any who opposed her more that those who opposed her policies I think describes so many politicians today, both left and right.

Zoomcaster's comment was also a Vox, or rather, a Booster Patrol callout: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bZKmtwhKgrk
